National Israel Will Always be Israel
According to the Bible, as I understand it, national Israel will always be Israel. This is despite the employment of theological terms to suggest otherwise. National Israel will always be Israel, not the church pretending to be a better, more spiritual version. Israel failed in many areas. But what can we honestly say … [Read more...]
Another Peace Plan Boat Floats down the River
And so another Peace Plan Boat Floats down the River. It was a long time coming, with speculation aplenty about the "Deal of the Century". Is it headed for the same ghost-ship harbor where all the other plans have ended up? I'm not optimistic. In fact I'll wager it was dead in the water even before the details … [Read more...]

But enough of her problems - here I am again ranting about one of my favorite vexing topics. Where am I going with all this? Let's start with Thrall. One … [Read more...]
There’s Something About Jerusalem
Yes, there's something about Jerusalem. Why all this sudden interest in an ancient city, situated in a tiny nation? Any mention of Jerusalem is bound to elicit a range of passionate responses. I'm not necessarily speaking of the Palestinians and Jews either. Why is this so? BTW, when I say "Jews" I mean Israel. The … [Read more...]
